To My Friend Asia, Who didn't think I Could Do It

Ha ha ha, it's so funny. I haven't always been a "big" girl. I used to be so thin in High School. I used to wear my little sister's clothes and she wears a size zero! I still can't believe I was that tiny. She used to get so mad at me but her clothes were so cute! But anyway back to the story...

When I graduated high school, I was 123lbs but I was fit because I played tennis. I remember my aunts used to joke with me saying that I could eat anything I wanted and never gained a pound. They used to say how they wished they were my size and still be able to eat what they wanted. I just kinda looked at them like they were crazy. It never really crossed my mind that my "eating what I wanted" days were over.

I went to college that summer and I felt like a free spirit. I remember purchasing the room and board meal plan 19 meals a week...(3 meals Mon-Fri and 2 meals Sat and Sun). I remember thinking, this is not going to be enough food. I will starve! So I made it my business to eat every meal. Hey, I paid for it why not. Let's just say by the end of the school year I had gained 30lbs...I surpassed the freshman 15. I noticed a little weight gain but I didn't pay too much attention to it. When I came home, my mom and my whole family were like, "Are you pregnant! You are fat!" Harsh isn't it. I couldn't swallow the fact that I had blew up like a balloon in such a short period of time. This has never happend to me before and I couldn't believe that I, the cute little petite girl has finally taken on the family curse...being over weight.

I got depressed and I ate more. I picked up 2 more pounds a month after I came home. My friend Asia didn't have weight issues at all. She was tall and slender, you know the type that looks like they can walk down a runway for Versache. She ate WHATEVER she wanted and didn't gain a pound. She was able to wear all the cute clothing and I was stuck wearin like sweats and baggy clothes.

I told Asia that this was the year to loose weight. She heard me say I would loose weight before but I would cheat and eat foods I shouldn't have and I find myself back to my old habbits. So Asia thought this was going to be the same thing. I needed to prove Asia wrong so I had to do something and I had to stick to it...for good this time. I set realistic weight-loss goals and stuck with them. Now that I think about it, I'm finally sticking to my New Year's resolution. Who knows by the time my birthday gets here in May, I can actually wear something cute again.

I recommend going to http://www.15lbsin30days.com/ and check out some of the free things they have to offer. This is the program that made it so possible for me to lose the weight. In my opinion, this is probably the easiest program I have every followed. I definitley didn't think this was possible.

Let me just say this: With that program I lost 17 lbs my first month. I noticed right away that I was losing weight. My family notice too but the one thing that made it really worth wile was the look on Asia's face. Asia, if you are reading this, I told you I could do it! I'm so happy I took the steps to get back in shape.
